Nursing graduates can work in public or private healthcare centres providing care at different levels of prevention and geared towards individuals, families and communities.

Professional practice can take place in health centres, private charitable institutions (crèches, kindergartens, day centres, homes for the elderly or others), schools or companies, in a very broad range of activities from health promotion to home visits, nursing care for newborns, schoolchildren and adolescents, adults or the elderly.

Another sphere of work for nurses is a hospital, of whatever type, working in medical services, surgery, consultations, surgical and medical specialities, emergency services, operating theatres or long-term care units.
